Thanks for the info, Nick

Oops, that doesn't do what I want.  Is there a way to get pcomplete to
fall back to use dabbrev-expand when it can't complete something another
way?  I'd RTFM but pcomplete seems to be completely undocumented!

[No wonder I didn't stumble across pcomplete: Doesn't every OS GUI bind
`M-TAB' to a window switcher by default?]
